It threw me off when the LM SA recommended that I still use a moisturizer under this tinted moisturizer (I have normal skin). The SPF isn't broad spectrum so I also have to use additional sunblock. The coverage was more than I expected--this is more of a foundation rather than a tinted moisturizer. This would be great for people with oily skin who want sheer coverage. I didn't think it was worth the $38.00 if I still had to use additional moisturizer and sunblock.

This is great stuff. Covers better than Paula Dorf's Face Tint, and makes your face look really fresh. The only thing that I don't like is the smell. After about 3 or 4 months, the TM developed the WORST smell, and I couldn't put it on -- the smell was that bad. I spoke to a LM MA about this, and she said that she had noticed that as well, and so did some of her clients. I only use this in the summer, and make sure that I use the tube up...other than the smell, I do love this product.

This was recommeded to me by a cosmetic nurse, so I had high expectations for this product. Unfortunatly, it didn't offer much coverage, and looked dry on my skin. They suggest using LM primer under it, but I'm not going to bother with a primer when any good moisurizer with silicone in it will do the same job. If you have perfect skin, you may like this b/c it does have a great SPF.

LOVE THIS!!! I have a very difficult time finding any kind of foundation product that doesn't cause horrible irritation to my sensitive skin and this product has been wonderful for me. It evens out my skin tone nicely (not a lot of coverage, but that's not it's purpose) and feels good on my face. The price point is a tad high, but I'm on my second tube and will continue to repurchase.

This has been a holy grail product for me for close to 4 years. I may stray, but always come back to this and the LM Moisturizing foundation. I have this in Nude, Sand, and Almond. I use Nude most of the year, but as summer approaches I start mixing colors to get the right shade. I love how this product feels on my skin, and the coverage is just right for my needs. Gives me a finished look and applies in a jiff!

this is the one product i recommend to everyone i know. it's the perfect spf/light coverage for summer days, or any day you know you'll be spending some time outdoors. an absolute winner, and doesn't break out my skin or irritate it (i'm sensitive).

With its effective SPF 20, this light and velvety-textured tinted moisturizer provides a barely-there sheer coverage, while evening out skin-tone and adding a subtle healthy glow.

I have found this product to work very well for me; as other reviewers have said, it evens out the color of my complexion without changing it. I do have to use a mattifier gel and powder over it though.
The main reason I'm rating it four instead of five is because of the price. Would try to scrape together the money to buy it again though!

A nice, light alternative to foundation. This product sinks into my skin, evens my skin tone, and adds a natural glow. I love that it has SPF 20. I set it with LM's translusent loose powder. The biggest drawback is the packaging. I think there is too much air in the bottle, because every time I fly it explodes - so annoying! I also don't like that it doesn't stand alone as a moisturizer, however I do keep on repurchasing.

This is the BEST if you want sheer, light, natural looking coverage. It blends easily into the skin and doesn't have any weird odors. (I skip the LM primer. Too expensive IMO and just use regular moisturizer of EL Idealist before putting on the tinted). I've become dependent on it for perfect looking skin and will not leave the house without it. Definitely a must have staple!

I can truly say that this is my one-and-only makeup staple that I will never want to be without. I have it in Sand which is a perfect match for my skintone. It provides imperceptible, but perfect, coverage. I can use it when I'm in a hurry and don't have to worry about blending it. In fact, I use it in the car on my way to work without a mirror and it always looks perfect! It's not matte, not shiny, but perfectly in-between just like real skin.

I took one lipstick off for the exorbitant price! I think it costs too much for something so basic. Also, the SPF is not full spectrum. However, it does give a very natural, slightly dewy looking finish. It is very easy to blend if you use a dampened sponge. It doesn't irritate my sensitive skin and if I want more coverage I can mix it with a dab of foundation (thanks to Trishamarie for that tip!) :) This is really for people who don't have much to hide or don't care about looking "made up" because it looks like you are wearing nothing at all.

Nice tinted moisturizer. Very sheer coverage. Probably need to have fairly clear skin to begin with. Very natural looking. I have nude and it's a great natural looking color that's easy to blend. I got a makeover at Laura Mercier and they used this in the makeover. I was impressed enough that I bought it!

This stuff is absolutely beautiful on my MMM olive complexion. I got it in Almond, it my new HG (use to be MAC C4, which left little bumps on my skin every time I used it). Its sheer and just disappears to my skin. I hate heavy feeling of foundations, but this evens out the complexion. I don't mind showing little imperfections (acne scars) on my skin.It last the the whole day on my oily skin. If my skin gets oily/shiny, I use LM powder/foundation to blot.

This product is great for quite clear skin which does not require heavy foundation. You can apply it with your fingers which is really easy and because of it's consistency it has a non-streaky effect. It allows your skin to breathe and does not give that superficial "mask" effect which i find other foundations to do. It is a little pricy but you only use the tiniest amount of product because it spreads so easily. Definitely worth it!

I love this and it is the only tinted moisturiser i will use. I use nude (pic of me-skintone in profile for reference if needed) i use it with Lm loose powder and i am ready to go for a casual look.
Very good quality although you would expect it to be at this price! Nice simple classy packaging too.

Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer is great. It provides just enough moisture for my face without getting me too oily and gives me enough coverage to even out my skin. For a simple daytime look, I just use this and a loose powder and I'm ready to go. This is also good for those who have dry skin but want to use a sheer foundation but are looking for a little extra coverage. It gives you that extra coverage and moisture so that you can use a foundation that might not be perfect for you (I do this sometimes because I like the finish of a certain foundation or the shade matches me well).

I bought this product after reading a review in "In Style" saying that it was one of the products of the year (the make up artist interviewed said that she used it on EVERYBODY :), including J.Aniston and K. Winslet... Well, I have to say that it's a great product. I love the fact that it has a high SPF. I'ts perfect to give to all complexions that sun-kissed look that is so trendy. If you have a fair skin, I recommend to buy the SAND version (don't hesitate to buy the product one shade darker than your natural skin tone, it will look very natural, as it's not a foundation, and you will have an "after week end at the beach" glow). Dry skin (like mine) need to apply it over their usual moisturizer though, if they want a natural effect. Didn't cause any breakout.

I'm still out on the fence on this product. I like the concept and it moisturizes well (I skip my a.m. moisturizer when I use this product). However, I'm not sure it provides enough skin tone evening and coverage for my personal preference. My skin also felt heavy by the end of the day as the natural oils combined w/ the moisturizer. I think I would use this if I'm going to be outside for a significant period because of the SPF, but not on a daily basis.
